- The research involved the collection, synthesis, and analysis of a considerable body of material from primary and secondary sources, spanning multiple disciplines including law, history, social movement theory, criminology, and critical race theory. The work involved weaving historical literature with contemporary phenomena, culminating in the development of a complex theoretical framework to explain historical and conceptual connections between the movement that worked to abolish slavery, with the modern movement to abolish capital punishment in the USA. The work investigates the idea of “abolition” in depth from a variety of perspectives, drawing on historical literature, and contemporary primary materials.
